[00:08.02]Though with joy I should be reeling
[00:13.06]That at last you came my way,
[00:17.88]There's no further use concealing
[00:22.53]That I'm feeling far from gay.
[00:27.33]For the rare allure about you
[00:32.32]Makes me all the plainer see
[00:37.06]How inane, how vain, how empty life
[00:43.31]Without you would be.
[00:49.09]After you, who
[00:55.35]Could supply my sky of blue?
[01:00.17]After you, who
[01:05.10]Could I love?
[01:09.92]After you, why
[01:14.73]Should I take the time to try,
[01:19.61]For who else could qualify
[01:24.69]After you, who?
[01:29.74]Hold my hand and swear
[01:34.98]You'll never cease to care,
[01:38.76]For without you there what could I do?
[01:48.54]I could search years
[01:54.29]But who else could change my tears
[01:59.25]Into laughter after you?
[02:45.59]Hold my hand and swear
[02:50.50]You'll never cease to care,
[02:54.35]For without you there what could I do?
[03:04.94]I could search years
[03:09.79]But who else could change my tears
[03:14.31]Into laughter after you?
[03:26.94]written by Cole Porter for his 1932 musical Gay Divorce
